PLAY BY PLAY
Jon Moxley is here!
While The Maniac is going to face Konosuke Takeshita in a Title Eliminator regarding his IWGP World Heavyweight Championship, he’s here tonight at the sight of his AEW debut five years ago! That night was Double or Nothing 2019 and he gave Kenny Omega a Paradigm Shift onto the stack of giant poker chips, but it would seem he’s gonna be face to face with Don Callis now. Callis makes his way out to the ring now and fans boo him and his weird low bass rumble theme song. Callis says he has something important to say, and he tells Jon that he isn’t here to cause any trouble. Callis just wants to talk about their history.
Did everyone know that on Callis’ second night in AEW, he cost Moxley the AEW World Championship? Hey, he’s trying to talk to Moxley, stay out of this! The fans keep booing, but Callis says Moxley literally got his pound of flesh. Roll the footage of the night Moxley decked Callis and caused him to be cut open! Then Callis turned on Kenny Omega just a few nights later! Look at Moxley take advantage of that! Without knowing it, they both changed the course of this company! Every morning, Moxley is the first person Callis thinks about, because Callis sees this scar. TWENTY-FOUR stitches! For most, that’d be a deal breaker.
But Callis says he and Moxley aren’t like most people. Not like all of these normies in the crowd! Ironic of Callis to say that when these “normal people” want to see Moxley scar Callis again… But Callis says when he was in the hospital, Moxley opened the door. Callis thought Moxley was gonna finish the job! Moxley put his hand on Callis’ shoulder and said, “You’re one of us now.” Callis looked Moxley in the eyes, and what he saw was nothing! The same as when Callis looks in his eyes. The worst kept secret as that these two are a lot alike. They see everything, but feel nothing! They are “high-functioning sociopaths,” and pro-wrestling gave them a platform to change the world!
Thirty years ago, guys like them would be an institution somewhere! But they worked together and Moxley beat Omega. The fans tell Callis to STFU, but Callis tells Moxley that when Moxley said “You’re one of us now,” Moxley was right! Callis helped Moxley beat Omega, but who didn’t Callis didn’t have to help? Takeshita. And Jon, this isn’t a threat, but Moxley has Takeshita tomorrow and it kills Callis. Callis doesn’t want to see this match. Imagine instead, them on parallel yet separate paths, and just once, if they were going it he same direction! They could run AEW! Tony Khan couldn’t stop them! The UN couldn’t stop them!!
So Callis isn’t here to pitch anything, Moxley’s too smart for that. But just imagine what this could be like. They’re alike! They’re not alone! So instead of the eliminator, use that time to make an announcement about Moxley’s future with The Callis Family! What does Callis have to do to get this done? Moxley is taken aback, paces a bit, and fans want him to deck Callis already. Callis offers the mic and Moxley takes it. The fans sing, “F HIM UP, F HIM UP!” Moxley tells Callis, “Okay, just one question.” Anything! What is it? “Well, if you and I are gonna trust each other, if we’re gonna be on the same page, I’m gonna need more of a commitment than that little baby scar on your forehead right there.”
So how about 24 MORE scars in that big bald head of Callis’? But then Takeshita CLOBBERS Moxley from behind! This was the plan all along, wasn’t it? ALPHA ELBOW!! Takeshita then gets a chair, brings it in, and he puts it around Moxley’s arm! Takeshita stands on the arm, then goes up the corner! The fans boo and Takeshita flips Moxley off, before the DIVING STOMP!! Moxley’s arm could very well be broken inside the chair! And then Takeshita STOMPS the chair more! Bryan Danielson & Claudio Castagnoli rush out here and that sends The Callis Family running! The damage has been done, will Moxley be able to stop Takeshita tomorrow night?
AEW shares Will Ospreay’s message from after Dynamite last Wednesday.
“You think I look pretty bad about now, right? Nah, this is nothing. Mate, I’ve been on full night benders, woke up in the morning, had a bowl of Coco Pops, got on a plane to Japan, called out the toughest guy and whooped on him in front of his wife and kids while I was smiling, bruv! You think this is the end, Messiah? What, am I to believe in you, am I? You think this scares me? I EFFIN’ LIVE FOR THIS, BRUV! I flew all the way from England on a 10 hour flight, got transferred over the Bakersfield, and this is the best that you got? My Messiah, am I meant to believe in you? Am I meant to believe?
“Nah, mate. The only thing that i believe is bell to bell, internationally known, no one is better than me inside that ring. And now what you’ve done, mate, now what you’ve done is just bonded me with that championship. My blood is on that championship, so now it is my duty, it is my spirit, that is bonded with that championship! So Sunday, in the perfect city to do it in, bet it all, gamble your life on it, son. Cuz now, it is my last mission to take that International Championship from you! And Hell or high water, nothing, nobody, is better than Will Ospreay. Cuz I am on another level!” Will Roddy learn he’s not a Savior but a False Prophet of the Backbreaker?
Six Man Tag: Claudio Castagnoli, Daniel Garcia & ??? VS Lance Archer & The Righteous!
The Swiss Superman and the Dragonslayer are teaming together to take on The Murderhawk Monster, as well as good ol’ Dutch & Vincent, all to avenge what they tried to do to Bryan Danielson & FTR. But who is their third man, brother? It’s HIROSHI TANAHASHI! The Ace of the Universe, the President of NJPW, and one-third of the NEVER Openweight Six Man Champions is here on Collision!

A huge moment for these three, and they celebrate with Garcia’s dance! Will, Claudio isn’t really into it, not his style. But will this mean big things are in store for Forbidden Door next month?
The following message is on behalf of The Elite.
“When it comes to the tireless work of your EVPs, the job is never done. While being the greatest tag team ever is glamorous, it is in the countless hours of thankless service to every single employee where Matthew & Nicholas find their true glory. From the global stars of AEW to the ring crew and everyone in between, The Elite always give back to the business that has given them so much. However, four men, four violent, ungrateful, ignorant, deranged men, want only to destroy what their humble, selfless work has built.” Anarchy in the Arena is coming, but for the fans, your EVPs will never shy away from adversity in their pursuit to #ChangeTheWorld.
So, clearly biased and edited to favor The Young Bucks, Kazuchika Okada & Jack Perry, but will The Elite stop at nothing to stay in control?
The Gunn Brothers VS The Lucha Brothers!
The Bang Bang Gang punked out Pac, and that sparked the flame that revived Death Triangle! But in order to make their coming Six Man Tag match for all the gold, Austin & Colten are taking on Penta El Zero Miedo & Rey Fenix in a battle of brothers!

Backstage interview with Chris Jericho & “Big Bill” Morrissey.
Arkady Aura is with The Learning Tree & “Redwood,” and notes Jericho’s FTW Championship will be a Triple Threat after Hook and Katsuyori Shibata got a double submission victory. Does this bother Jericho at all? Bill says if he may be so bold, if there is one thing Jericho has always said, it is that when you face adversity, and you are facing the darkest hour, you have to dig deep to pull out the light. Bill is sure that applies here. Jericho agrees. And he loves Arkady’s name, it sounds like a place where you play video games. Anyway, to be serious, he was not expecting to have two opponents.
But now that he does, after 33 YEARS of being on top of the wrestling world, doing the greatest things that’ve ever been done, the fan support that he has, he knows he’ll have to work extra hard to retain the title. But as the longest reigning “For The World Champion” at 34 days, Jericho thinks he will come away with a win. When you’re The Learning Tree, you have to be ready to face all adversaries, and all different types of opponents. But then in walks Bryan Keith. The Bounty Hunter says he missed his shot, but he promises that this ain’t the last we’ve seen of him. Keith heads out, Jericho smiles and thanks him for that.
Will The Ocho defy the one-third odds he has to still be the one with the gold?
Kyle O’Reilly VS KM!
#CombatKyle is still a bit sore from losing to Malakai Black, but he isn’t gonna let The End be the end of his comeback! Will he just keep fighting until he’s going for gold?
The bell rings and Kyle runs up to fire off on KM! KM shoves Kyle, swings, but Kyle body shots, KICKS and KICKS! Kyle runs, but KM DROPKICKS him! KM fires up, wrenches and whips Kyle corner to corner hard, and he asks, “Who suck snow?!” The fans say “YOU!” KM runs in, but into a BOOT! KM comes back, into another boot! KM tries again, Kyle dodges the splash! GUILLOTINE FACELOCK! KM RAMS Kyle into buckles, but Kyle holds on tight, body scissors included! KM fades, so Kyle lets go to KICK! AX and- NO, KM blocks the smash! Then he blocks a kick! But Kyle blocks a haymaker to get the ARMBAR!! KM taps, Kyle wins!
Winner: Kyle O’Reilly, by submission
KOR > KM, and now Kyle is all fired up! Will Kyle be primed to fight for a title after AEW goes Double or Nothing?
Willow Nightingale is here!
The fans cheer as the TBS Champion, and her good pal Kris Statlander, heads to the ring. Kris leaves it to Willow from here, and Willow steps in the ring to get a mic. The Babe with the Power says, “Las Vegaaaaas~! Y’know, it feels really great to be here. And on the fifth anniversary of All Elite Wrestling, none the less. And we got Collision on TBS tonight, and you can’t have Collision on TBS without The Face of TBS!” The fans cheer that! Willow revels in their chants a moment before saying thanks. But she also thinks about last night’s Rampage, and how someone else put their hands on her TBS Championships: Mercedes Mone.
The fans are torn but mostly boo The CEO. Willow says Mone has been here about two months, and Willow keeps talking about respect. But we’re way past that now. Tomorrow night, Double or Nothing, Willow will WRECK Mone! She will make Mone long for the days when she was out of harm’s way, sitting at home on the shelf! And Willow knows that championships come and go. But she’ll be DAMNED if tomorrow is the night this reign ends! Because for years, Willow has been working towards HER dream. She’s had knee surgery! Not many known this, but she was almost PARALYZED by a neck injury five years ago, before ever getting to AEW!
So now, Willow gets to live her dream as TBS Champion. And Willow will go through Manitoba Massacres, she will hop on planes to go to Japan, 14 hours each way, and fight in a Stardom ring. So Mercedes, Willow is just getting started! The fans fire up for Willow and she nods. Willow tells Mone that Mone says Willow can’t beat her at 100%. But Willow knows Mone can’t beat Willow at any percent! Because last year, Willow did just that! And tomorrow, at Double or Nothing, she proves that the better woman IS Willow Nightingale! The fans are fired up as Willow holds that title high, but will she be holding it at the end of Sunday night?
Backstage interview with Trent Beretta.
Lexy Nair is with #JustTrent and says that he has all the moment going into his match with Orange Cassidy. Aside from that, this is also deeply personal. We saw Trent end Chuck Taylor’s in-ring career, is he going to try that with Cassidy? Trent says that he’s already said everything that he’s had to say about “that con-man narcissist.” Trent vows that tomorrow night, he shows the whole world something Trent’s known for a long time. But in steps Rocky Romero. Azucar knows they haven’t talked, he just wanted to see him before tomorrow night. It’s a big night, Trent’s been here since day one, lots of memories between what was The Best Friends.
No matter what, Rocky just hopes there is a way they can all put this all behind them. They’re more than Best Friends, they’re family! Trent says that’s not happening at all. And don’t ever interrupt him again. Trent leaves, Rocky isn’t sure what to make of that, is Trent already past the point of no return?
Fatal 4 Way Tag: The Acclaimed VS The Gates of Agony VS The House of Black VS The Infantry!
While The Young Bucks are busy with Anarchy in the Arena tomorrow night, they will need challengers for their AEW World Tag Team Championships at some point. This match will go a long way in clearing out the pack, who stands tall after this massive match as strong contenders?
But wait, Platinum Max has a diss track on deck! “The House of Black ain’t about s*it, a new ball gag would fit right in with those outfits! I treat Infantry like infants, getting overpowered. Fake American heroes, y’all’re stolen valor! I heard you rap but you’re not as cold as ours. You pissed me off, now you got the golden shower. From the tip of my pee niz to the top of your tongue, don’t talk about me, b*tch! I heard Brian Cage can’t stay hard, your other two guys, I don’t know what their names are! They still talk a big game, but in Vegas, Everybody Loves The Acclaimed!”
Bowens then takes the mic to say, “LAAAS VEGAAAAS~! The Acclaimed have arrived! Scissor me, Daddy Ass~!” And he does! Caster’s words really sting and those punchlines were smart, but will The Acclaimed return to the top of the tag charts?
The teams all sort out, and in this form of Fatal 4, only two teams are legal at a time. Caster and Carlie Bravo start, circle, and they tie up. Bravo rolls Caster up, ONE! Caster rolls Bravo up, TWO! Bravo sweeps to cover, ONE! Caster sweeps to cover, ONE! They stand off, Caster pushes Bravo but Bravo pushes back. They circle, Caster avoids the House of Black and tags Bowens. Bravo isn’t as aware, Buddy Matthews tags in off him. Buddy and Bowens circle, but then Bishop Kaun tags himself in! The Cameroonian Prince tells Bowens to split, then he ties up with the Aussie Juggernaut. Buddy headlocks but Kaun powers out. They RAM shoulders, then Kaun goes again.
They RAM shoulders again, Buddy hits a headlock takeover. Kaun headscissors, Buddy kips free, and the two stand off. Brody calls to Buddy, Buddy tags him in. But Kaun tags Toa Liona and the fans fire up for the big meaty men! Brody and Liona circle, they BLAST Infantry and Acclaimed! Then they run up to LARIAT! “MEAT!” The forearms fly, “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Bowens gets in but Brody DECKS him! The “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” continues but Caster gets in. Liona DECKS Caster! The “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” gets going, both Infantry get in. Liona and Brody DECK them both! Then Brody ROCKS Liona!
Kaun runs up, Brody BOOTS him! Brody brings Liona up but Liona fireman’s carries! Brody slips free to HEADBUTT, but it hurts Brody! You never headbutt a Samoan! Liona fireman’s carries, Buddy runs up, so Liona dumps Brody to knee Buddy! Liona TOSSES Buddy out, UPPERCUTS him, then ROCKS Brody! Brody leans on ropes, Liona roars, but he runs, and Buddy dumps him out! The teams all fight o the outside, and BRODY DIVES!! Direct hit into the cluster, STRIKE! The fans are thunderous as we go picture in picture!
The House drags people up, Buddy SMACKS Bravo off steps, then THRWOS him into barriers! Brody CHOKES Caster then CLUBS him down! Bowens goes after Liona but Liona RAMS him into steel steps! Brody chokes Caster, Kaun is sent into barriers, and the House mugs Bravo. Brody CLUBS Bowens, Liona throws Shawn Dean around, it is just chaos on the outside! Buddy CHOPS Bravo, Brody CLUBS Bowens, The Gates mug Dean! The ref wants someone to get in the ring, so Liona and Brody storm in. They circle, snarl, but then Caster tags in off Brody! Caster stays back, Buddy tags in off Liona. Buddy runs up, Caster dodges to BACKHAND!
Caster has Buddy in a corner, goes up, but Buddy DUMPS Caster to the apron! But Caster ROCKS Buddy in return! The fans fire up as Caster climbs, but Buddy trips Caster up! Buddy climbs, he brings Caster up, and SUPERPLEXES! Cover, TWO! Buddy tags Brody, then he scoop SLAMS Caster! Brody runs to SENTON! Brody drags Caster up, Collision returns to single picture, and Brody CHPOS Caster down! Tag to Buddy, he ROCKS Caster. The fans rally, Buddy clamps on a SLEEPER! Caster endures, reaches out, and the fans rally more. Caster fights up, JAWBREAKERS, and then flounders.
Buddy anchors Caster’s foot, yanks him back and he BLASTS Bowens! Caster reaches for The Infantry but Buddy keeps Caster from them, too. The Infantry avoid the sucker punches, then Caster dodges Buddy! Infantry get in Caster SUPERKICKS Buddy! The Infantry DOUBLE SUPERKICK! Brody tags in, he misses wide, DOUBLE SUPERKICKS, then DOUBLE SUPERKICKS, then TRIPLE SUPERKICKS!! Brody finally falls, Kaun runs up! SUPERKICK from Caster! TRIPLE SUPERKICKS again! Liona runs up, he CLOBBERS Caster, then breaks through the Infantry’s line to DOUBLE CROSSBODY!
The fans are torn as Liona drags Caster over, tags himself in off Caster, then fires up. Liona runs in at Brody to SPLASH! “MEAT!” Buddy is up top! METEORA! Buddy turns around, Kaun uses Liona as a step for a FLYING SHOTGUN! Caster returns to fireman’s carry, DEATH VALLEY DRIVER on Kaun! Linoa throat chops Caster! Infantry mugs Liona, they hook him up, but Brody CLUBs them all! Brody fires off on Liona, reels him in, but Liona is so big! Linoa fireman’s carries to SAMOAN DROP! Cover, Caster breaks it! Liona glares and grabs Caster by his neck! Liona SHOVES Caster out, but Bravo tags in!
Bravo ROCKS Liona, DUMPS him out, then hurries in. There’s more brawling outside between Gates and Acclaimed, but The Infantry take the corners! They take aim, STEREO SUPER CROSSBODIES!! The fans fire up again and The Infantry are in. They dodge Brody, BOOT Buddy, SUPERKICK and FOREARM for Brody, repeat! They reel Brody in, but he powers out of the double suplexes! The Infantry bob ‘n’ weave, the brawling on the outside gets wilder as Billy Gunn and Brian Cage join in! The Infantry hook Brody up, but Buddy disrupts Boot Camp! Brody CLOBBERS Dean! The other teams are just gone, fighting all the way to the back!
Buddy has Bravo in a corner, the fans hoot with Brody, and he runs in at Bravo, CANNONBALL DROPKICK COMBO!! Cover, The House wins!
Winners: The House of Black, by pinfall
Brody King & Buddy Matthews are truly a dangerous duo, will they be aimed right at the AEW World Tag Team Champions after Double or Nothing? Will Malakai Black step into the barbed wire steel cage and prove the House Always Wins?
Adam “Edge” Copeland speaks.
“Malakai… House of Black… You took the one item that kept me tethered to my comfortable world. The second I stepped foot in AEW, I knew it was only a matter of time before you’d set your sights on me. You were born out of the shadows that I cast. But I’ve been walking this path since before your balls dropped. But you’ve shown me. You’ve shown me where I need to navigate from. I need to go back to the pits. To the margins, to the outside looking in. You wanted this version of me, the version that has a devil on this shoulder, but no angel to be found.
“It’s fitting that this barbed wire steel cage match happens in the land of neon lights, and the violence that will take place within this steel cage is a fitting juxtaposition. Malakai, you said if I lose, I bend the knee, I join the House of Black. Oh, can you imagine? Can you imagine the force that we would be? And in a storybook ending, you defeat your influence, only we… We don’t deal in dreams. Our currency is nightmares, this is a horror story. Has it ever dawned on you, Malakai, that I used this to get closer to The House? What if I defeat you, and the House joins me?
“Buddy and Brody know the Devil that lives in my heart. I’ve been known to be a master manipulator. The House of Blood… That’s something I can sink my teeth into. Questions. So many questions. But Malakai, know this fact: When you see evil in a man’s eyes, it’s already too late.” Edge snaps his fingers and the lights go out. Will this darkness consume all of AEW as things get Rated R?
AEW shares Toni Storm’s message from after Dynamite.
“Serena Deeb… This isn’t for you. This is for everyone like you. This is for everyone that thinks that because they’ve had a sad life, it entitles them to some kind of reward. Nothing happens for a reason, darling. Things just happen. If everything happened for a reason, then there would be ONE main event at Double or Nothing, and it would be me talking for 40 minutes while you sit around and analyze my words like a Zapruder Film! But no, instead I have to fight for my life against a woman who thinks that twitching on the floor was a sign from the universe that she should keep wrestling!
“You want to be a victim? I will make you a victim. I will make your three seizures feel like a Sunday stroll in the bloody park! The saddest part about your life is that you thought it had any meaning at all. But don’t worry. In your obituary, they will mention that you lost to the champ.” The leading lady is even more vicious than ever, will she make sure Deeb never works in this town again?
Mariah May VS Leyla Hirsch!
Toni Storm’s protege is herself riding high after the big tag win on Wednesday, but now she’s got a LEGIT opponent standing across from her. Will Mariah still be able to shine on her own? Or will she be lost without her mentor by her side?
The bell rings, the fans rally, and the two circle. They tie up, Mariah powers Leyla to ropes, and the ref counts. Mariah lets off, Leyla runs up and gets around. Leyla shoves Mariah to a corner, runs up, but Mariah goes up and over. Leyla storms up on Mariah again, but Mariah CHOPS! Mariah shrugs, CHOPS again, then CHOPS again. Mariah CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS, but Leyla ROCKS her! Leyla gets in Mariah’s face, or uh, chest rather. So Mariah makes sure Leyla gets a face full of it! The fans fire up, Leyla is flustered, and Mariah does a little dance. Leyla is furious, Mariah shrugs, and then Leyla clinches! BELLY2BELLY!
Leyla drags Mariah up but Mariah fireman’s carries! SAMOAN DROP! Mariah sits Leyla up, runs, and SHOTGUNS Leyla down! Mariah rocks out and Collision goes picture in picture.
Mariah swaggers around as the fans cheer, and she brings Leyla up. Mariah bumps Leyla off buckles, and puts some stank on the DOUBLE CHOPS! Leyla shoves Mariah, Mariah scuffs her, then snapmares her. Mariah does a little prance then runs to PENALTY KICK! Cover, TWO! Mariah clamps onto Leyla with a body scissors and full nelson, then shifts to a short arm scissor! Leyla fights around, powers Mariah to a pump handle and cording hold! Mariah throws Leyla off her, then DECKS her! Mariah continues to swagger, drags Leyla up and scoops, for the SPIN OUT SIDEWALK SLAM! Mariah is having a little too much fun as Leyla flops out of the ring.
Mariah goes out after Leyla, drags her up and fireman’s carries, but Leyla fights free. Leyla RAMS Mariah into steel steps! Leyla puts Mariah in, stomps her, then clamps on a rear bearhug! Mariah endures the squeeze, fights up to her feet, but Leyla whips her into a corner. Leyla runs up to ROCK Mariah, and she rolls to come back, SWINGING DROPKICK! Collision returns to single picture as the fans rally up for Mariah. Leyla drags Mariah into a drop zone, steps on her and climbs up. The fans cheer for Leyla, “SHE’S LEGIT! SHE’S LEGIT!” MOONSAULT FLOPS as Mariah moves! Mariah CLOBBERS Leyla!
Mariah LARIATS Leyla, BOOTS her, then hits a SAIDO! Fans fire up with Mariah and she goes to a corner. Mariah climbs, leaps and MISSILE DROPKICKS! Cover, TWO! Leyla is still in this but Mariah grits her teeth. The fans rally, Mariah drags Leyla up and bumps her off buckles. Mariah puts Leyla up top, CHOPS her, then storms around. Mariah runs corner to corner, to go into the STRATUSPHERE! Leyla flounders, Mariah says kiss this! SWEET HIP- NO, Leyla gets around to O’Conner Roll! Then she blocks a kick to get around and GERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO! Mariah survives and Leyla is stunned!
Leyla hurries to drag Mariah up, the fans rally and duel, but Mariah ROCKS Leyla! Leyla gets Mariah in a clinch, but Mariah slips out! Mariah HEADBUTTS Leyla, then KNEES her down!! Cover, Mariah wins!
Winner: Mariah May, by pinfall
And with that, Storm’s understudy puts away another one! Will Mariah be primed for a title opportunity of her own after Double or Nothing?
BREAKING NEWS for Double or Nothing!
After Brian Cage called The Acclaimed out last night on Rampage, and after the brawling that took them all out of the Fatal 4 Way tonight, Tony Khan has made a big Six Man Tag grudge match for The Buy-In! Will The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn get a big win on Sunday? Or will they fail to escape the #CageOfAgony?
Backstage interview with Serena Deeb.
Lexy is now with The Professor, and brings up those “vicious” comments by Toni Storm. We are less than 24 hours from their match, is Deeb ready? Deeb says tomorrow night is the biggest match of her career. Double or Nothing, or perhaps Deeb or Nothing. Toni Storm, in this lead up to the match, they’ve had some fun and games. Storm stole the banner, paraded around in it, but let Deeb ask you this: It wasn’t so fun when you had to throw in the towel and save that stooge, Mariah, from losing a leg, now was it? And Deeb is sure Mariah is grateful to Storm for making sure she could walk out of there that night. But Deeb can’t say the same for Storm.
Deeb will stretch Storm limb from limb, and it’s been a long time coming. Tomorrow night, Deeb finally becomes AEW Women’s World Champion! And “Timeless” Toni Storm will become Time’s Up Toni Storm. See you tomorrow night. The Professor is ready to teach the Leading Lady a life lesson, will it have to be learned the hard way?
AEW takes a closer look at Swerve VS Christian.
The Patriarch says, “Swerve, I felt it was apropos to return to the scene of the crime. The crime you committed against my son. My son, Nick, learned to walk in this ring before he could even run these ropes. Because you didn’t just jump my son, Nick, in a random wrestling gym. You jumped him on holy ground. An eye for an eye.” Swerve admits his methods were a “little misunderstood,” a little skewed, but he always got things done in the ring. No one can ever say Swerve didn’t deserve the world title. Christian hears a lot about Swerve’s House. And he told Swerve that he never forgets.
All In Wembley, Swerve embarrassed Christian. Christian said he’d make Swerve a footnote, but that’s no longer enough. Swerve must be held accountable for his crimes. Two years in AEW and people are still calling Swerve a footnote. He’s on TV, he promises AEW, he promotes AEW on radio and podcasts. He is the face of AEW, the world is forgetting Christian Cage. Christian reminds us that he is taking something from Swerve every week. For every ounce of Nick’s blood that was spilt, Christian is taking the title. Swerve asks if Nick’s yet to learn his lessons. Swerve doesn’t think they have it in them to do this to a world champion!
Swerve has built his house, and at Double or Nothing, he proves it’s whose house? The reason Swerve is not sleeping at home is because he’s too busy building this house! Christian vows to wipe Swerve from the annals of AEW, and to become the NEW AEW World Champion. Two fathers fighting for their families and their legacies, but whose house must suffer for the other’s to thrive?
Six Man Tag; Bryan Danielson & FTR VS Team Triple J!
The American Dragon & #TopGuys made it through Archer & The Righteous last week, but another faction just had to take The Elite up on that Double or Nothing bounty. Will Jay Lethal, Jeff Jarrett & Satnam Singh get another big bag of money for this hit job? Or will Bryan, Dax & Cash prove nothing’s gonna stop them before Anarchy in the Arena?
The trios sort out but Triple J keeps ’em guessing. Things finally settle down, and it is Bryan starting against Jarrett. They circle, tie up, and Jarrett arm-drags! And arm-drags again! And even a JAPANESE ARM-DRAG! Jarrett does the Fargo Strut, and he tags in Lethal! Bryan keeps cool as he and Lethal circle. They feel things out, tie up, and Lethal knees low. Lethal swaggers, pie faces, runs, but into a kitchen sink knee! Bryan KICKS Lethal, drags him up, and tags in Dax. Dax kicks Lethal, puts him in a corner, and CHOPS! And UPPERCUTS! And CHOPS again! Dax brings Lethal over, bumps him off buckles, then whips.
Cash tags in, then slingshots to SHOULDER TACKLE! The fans fire up and Cash bumps Lethal off buckles hard! Lethal sputters, Cash CHOPS him! Cash goes up, and he rains down fists! But Jarrett storms in, so Cash CROSSBODIES him! Lethal gets Cash but Cash atomic drops back! Cash finishes up on those fists, but Jarrett distracts the ref, and Satnam grabs Cash by the neck! HOTSHOT for Cash! Satnam drags Cash out to CHOP! Sonjay laughs at Cash, the ref tells Triple J to back off, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Satnam shoves Cash in for Lethal to drag around. Lethal has the leg, stomps it, steps through, FIGURE FOUR! Cash endures and his team coaches him but Lethal thrashes the leg! Cash reaches out, has to be careful about his shoulders, and he ROCKS Lethal! Lethal lets Cash go, but then CLUBS Cash! Lethal stomps and CLUBS Cash, then tags Jarrett in. They double whip but Cash reverses. Only to get caught in a RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Jarrett taunts Dax, stomps Cash, then kicks him around. Jarrett stomps Cash more and more, then drags him up. Jarrett whips, ELBOWS Cash down, and he stays between Cash and his team.
Jarrett drags Cash around to drop elbows on the knee! Jarrett then clamps on a toehold and pulls on the leg. Cash endures, tries to fight back but Jarrett elbows him. Cash CLUBS away on Jarrett, Jarrett elbows him again, and Cash’s shoulders are down! TWO, and Cash CLAWS at Jarrett’s face! Jarrett lets go of the leg to stomp it! Jarrett KICKS the leg out, and Cash falls over again. Cash rises, but Jarrett KICKS the leg again! And then clamps on for a SHIN BREAKER! Jarrett drags Cash around, steps through, but Cash BOOTS him away! Jarrett hits buckles, falls back, and Collision returns to single picture!
Both men crawl for their corners, the fans rally, and Lethal jumps in to get Cash’s leg! Cash still jumps around, and hot tags Dax! Dax JABS, JABS and DECKS Lethal! And DECKS Jarrett! Dax whips Lethal, Lethal reverses but Dax snatches him for a package, TWO! Dax whips, Lethal reverses, and Satnam gets the cheap shot! LETHAL COMBINATION! The fans boo but Lethal storms up on Dax. Lethal drags Dax over, points to the big man, and the fans boo. But Lethal tags in the One in a Billion! Satnam dribbles Dax like a basketball! The fans do cheer the show of strength, and Jarrett says he and Lethal can just relax now!
Jarrett & Lethal take a seat in some chairs, Karen sitting on her hubby’s lap, and Satnam palms Dax’s head like a basketball! Cash AX HANDLES, but Satnam is just upset! Satnam SHOVES Cash up and out! Dax is in a corner, Satnam run sin, but Dax dodges! No more relaxing, Jarrett tags in! But so does Bryan! The fans fire up as Bryan fires hands on Jarrett! “YES! YES! YES!” The fans fire up as Bryan KICKS away on Jarrett, “YES! YES! YES!” Bryan climbs up to rain down fists! The fans count all the way to TEN, then Bryan whips corner to corner. Jarrett reverses, Bryan goes up and over and keeps moving! Bryan ducks ‘n’ dodges to LEAPING LARIAT!
Vegas is all fired up with Bryan and he runs to DROPKICK in the corner! Bryan keeps moving, another DROPKICK! Bryan keeps moving, but gets under Jarrett’s lariat to wrangle him! Omoplata, LEBELL LOCK! Lethal CLOBBERS Bryan! Cash storms in, DUMPS Lethal out, and then he calls to Bryan. Bryan builds speed, and DIVES while Cash PLANCHAS! Down go Lethal and Jarrett! Dax says OLE to Satnam and sends him into steel steps! Satnam hobbles his way into the ring, Bryan & FTR get in! They surround the giant, and they KICK! KICK! KICK! “YES! YES! YES!” TRIPLE KICKS rattle Satnam from all sides!
Bryan winds up, to BUZZSAW! FTR mock The Bucks, F T R TRIGGER!! And then BUSAIKU KNEE!!! Satnam staggers about! Lethal gets in, DOUBLE LETHAL INJECTION on FTR!! But Bryan DISCUS LARIATS Lethal! Jarrett reels Bryan in, but Bryan slips around! Jarrett still RAMS Bryan into buckles! The fans boo as now Karen gets Jarrett the guitar! But the ref snatches it! Aubrey’s been through this crap before and she tells Karen, “Not tonight, b*tch!” But then Sonjay gets Jarrett a chair! Jarrett aims at Bryan, takes a swing, but Bryan dodges and the chair SMACKS Satnam!! The giant tumbles up and out!!
Bryan aims, Jarrett panics, BUSAIKU KNEE!! Lethal runs in, into a SHATTER MACHINE!! Cover on Jarrett, Team AEW wins!
Winners: Bryan Danielson & FTR, by pinfall
Karen is furious but there’s nothing she can do about it! Cash gets a mic and says, “2020, FTR made the debut in AEW for the first time in our careers. Four years ago, that very moment, AEW became our home. AEW is where I will live, I will breathe, I will fight, I will DIE for this company! Everybody, wrestling fans, are better off because of AEW. Wrestlers are better off because of AEW! The entire wrestling world is better off because of All Elite Wrestling!” The fans agree with all of that! Cash says FTR & Bryan might be beat up, might be hurt, they and Darby Allin might limp into Double or Nothing. But Cash swears that they’re the only ones that’ll walk out!
Dax takes the mic to say that five years ago, almost to the day, in this building, the same people here tonight, this company started. Why is FTR fighting for AEW? It is not just this company that FTR is fighting for. They are fighting for every single man and woman that wakes up in the morning, goes to work, has a terrible day, but comes home, turns their TVs on, and watches AEW. And for that one moment in time, whether it’s one or two hours, all those problems are gone. One time a week, two times a week, FTR gets to be their hero. If they were to die tomorrow, Anarchy in the Arena, they will be your heroes. #TopGuysOut!
The fans are fired up, just like The American Dragon & FTR! Will they and the Relentless Darby Allin tear down the corrupt Elite to save All Elite Wrestling?
My Thoughts:
A very good Collision, but it always feels like things get so talkie. And that kinda happened here because this was the go home show. All the promos were well done, as they almost always are, but were also in many ways redundant. Well, mostly the Chris Jericho one, but I guess him taking up screentime is part of the gimmick now. Willow’s was really good, too, but I wouldn’t say that changed the go home math or anything. Edge’s promo after that awesome Fatal 4 was also good, and I suppose that’s the promo that matters since he is now turning the tables on Malakai. Edge naturally would want to lead the faction rather than join it, but again something feels very Edge & Judgment Day about this, not sure what happens here.
Storm’s promo certainly helps her ride that Tweener line. On one point, yeah, she’s right, tragedy in life doesn’t entitle anyone to anything outside of sympathy. But at the same time, she sure didn’t show any sympathy to Deeb’s tragedy. Deeb’s response was also good, the title match will be great stuff, but surely Storm retains. And I will say that we got a very good video package for Christian and Swerve, I just wish it wasn’t also on the night bogged down by other promos. The irony is, this video could’ve been on the Countdown to Double or Nothing special from last night, but I wouldn’t know because I didn’t watch it. There must be fans who do watch it if AEW keeps doing them. But it just feels like after five years, AEW would’ve figured out how to not make things feel redundant.
Great opening promo from Moxley with Callis, and good ambush from Takeshita. I thought that with Double or Nothing only giving us a Title Eliminator, Takeshita would still win and force something for Forbidden Door. Now I don’t know. Maybe Takeshita defies the math and wins with cheating, or they go outside the box and have Moxley get disqualified because he’s just that pissed. Great opening Six Man Tag right after, with Hiroshi Tanahashi being a great surprise. A great win for the Faces there, and there’s any number of possibilities for Forbidden Door, but surely Tanahashi will want a part of that card.
Great tag match of Gunns VS Lucha Bros, but I figured Lucha Bros would win to force the trios title match. Granted, still don’t see Death Triangle winning out, but it’ll be a great match. And also of course another match is added to the Buy-In, it’s what happens with all AEW PPVs. Great filler squash of Kyle beating KM, Kyle should definitely be waiting on the other side of Double or Nothing for a title match, and it’d be fitting continuity if he went for the TNT Championship after having his matches with Edge and the House of Black. A good filler match from Mariah and Leyla, with a good win for Mariah. It’d be a bit copy-paste from ROH making Athena & Billie Starkz a mentor-mentee champion duo, but what if Mariah tried for the TBS Championship before going for the world title?
And great main event Six Man Tag, but of course the Faces won. Very good closing promos from FTR, though Dax has used his spiel about doing this for us, the hardworking folks, before and it’s a bit redundant again. I still want this to turn into AEW Avengers: Endgame or whatever, but the way things are going, I would think Team AEW, aka the Faces, find a way to win to motivate Bucks VS FTR “One last time” and at All In 2024.
My Score: 8.7/10

PLAY BY PLAY
AEW shares footage from after Dynamite.
Darby Allin made the save for Will Ospreay against Claudio Castagnoli, and Ospreay just wanted a second to talk. Ospreay says if Darby didn’t make that save, Ospreay wouldn’t be finishing this tournament. So just a quick one, Ospreay appreciates it and he thanks Darby very much. Darby says he just has this feeling. The same exact feeling that he had when Bryan Danielson got taken out. The same exact feeling he had when Chuck Taylor was taken out. Something is gonna happen again unless they all do something about it, so what is Ospreay willing to do? Darby says they can just find the Death Riders and put an end to this!
Ospreay says easy, now, tiger. But Darby says something is going to happen unless they do something! Ospreay understands, but can’t Darby see Ospreay’s got bigger things going on? He lost at WrestleDream, he lost at Full Gear, that’s back-to-back PPV loses and that does not happen to Ospreay. He has to regain momentum, and that means going through every single person in this tournament, and that includes Darby. Darby says that’s cute. Darby doesn’t care about Ospreay’s personal problems, or anyone else’s, because this is bigger than all of them. This is about AEW. Next year, there might not even be a Continental Classic if they don’t stop this now.
Doesn’t Ospreay see it? The Death Riders will keep chipping away and chipping away at everything that makes AEW what it is. So what is Ospreay doing? What is he doing about it? Ospreay is trying to win this tournament! He needs his momentum back. He can’t just drop everything. Ospreay needs this! So he’ll tell Darby this as a man who respects Darby: Ospreay respects everything Darby’s doing for AEW, but Ospreay needs his momentum. Then maybe afterwards, knock on his door. If Darby needs someone to fight alongside him, Ospreay’s game. See you next week. Ospreay heads out, but will either of them make it to the Holiday Bash?
Here are the current Continental Classic Blue League standings!
Kyle Fletcher: 3-0, 9 points
Kazuchika Okada: 1-1-1, 4 points
Daniel Garcia: 1-1-1, 4 points
Mark Briscoe: 1-2, 3 points
Shelton Benjamin: 1-1, 3 points
The Beast Mortos: 0-2, 0 points
Mark Briscoe speaks.
“Dem Boys in the house tonight, baby! Kyle Fletcher, I’m coming for you! I need this win, mathematically speaking! I’ma show you how we do! I’ma show you that I’m all dog, baby! All dog! ARF ARF RAA!”
Kyle Fletcher speaks.
“Mark Briscoe, I’m sorry, but tonight, you are just another victim for The Protostar. After tonight, it’ll be 12 points Fletch, and I will see you in the semifinals.”
Kazuchika Okada and Beast Mortos speak.
“Beast Mortos.” Mortos ROARS, but Okada says, “No. B*tch Mortos.” The Rainmaker has some strong words for the menacing minotaur, but will Mortos make sure the Continental Champion does NOT make it to Worlds End?
WrestleDynasty International Women’s Cup Qualifier AEW Finals: Jamie Hayter VS Willow Nightingale!
As the New Year approaches, so does that massive weekend in the Tokyo Dome! WrestleDynasty’s International Women’s Cup awaits, but will Hayter Hit Hard enough to punch her ticket to Japan? Or will the Babe with the Power look to add to her international list of accolades?
The bell rings, the two shake hands and the fans cheer the respect shown. The two tie up, Hayter hits a headlock takeover, but Willow has the headscissors. Hayter kips free, Willow hits a takeover but Hayter headscissors. Willow kips free, the two reset and the fans cheer. The two tie up, go around, and then break. The fans duel as Willow and Hayter circle. They tie up again and are in a deadlock, so they break. Hayter and Willow fire themselves up and circle again.

Willow CHOPS in return! Willow puts Hayter in the corner to CHOP and the fans are dueling again! Willow CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS! Hayter CHOPS, CHOPS and CHOPS in return! Hayter adds more CHOPS, Willow CHOPS again, then Hayter ROCKS Willow. Hayter whips, but Willow blocks by holding ropes. Hayter CLUBS Willow, whips her, then ELBOWS Willow at ropes. Hayter fires hands, then runs, but Willow DUMPS her to the apron! Hayter skins the cat but Willow throws a shot! Hayter ROCKS Willow in return, then drags her out to the apron, for an APRON DDT! Willow flops to the floor, but the lights go out!
Hayter looks around in a bit of a panic, was that Julia Hart teasing something? After all, Hart’s been calling her out lately. Willow uses the distraction to RAM Hayter into the apron! Willow then climbs up, and the fans fire up as Willow runs, CANNONBALL to the floor! The fans fire up with Willow while Collision goes picture in picture.
Willow drags Hayter up, puts her in the ring, but Hayter bails out the side. Willow is annoyed and goes out after her to stand her up. Willow CHOPS Hayter against the apron! But Hayter turns things around and CHOPS Willow against the apron! Willow fires hands, RAMS Hayter into the railing, then RAMS her into the apron! Willow RAMS Hayter back into the railing, and then throws Hayter into the ring. Hayter still bails out the side! Willow is annoyed again but she still goes after Hayter. Willow brings Hayter up and reels her in, but Hayter fights the suplex! Hayter then suplexes Willow to the floor!
Willow writhes but Hayter crawls away to roll into the ring. The ring count is past 5 of 10 but Willow rolls in at 7. Willow drags Hayter up, RAMS her into a corner, then goes up the corner. Willow drags Hayter up to join her, but Hayter fights back! They brawl, Hayter CLUBS away on Willow, then HEADBUTTS her!

Winner: Willow Nightingale, by pinfall (advances to WrestleDynasty)
That was a powerful battle from powerful young women, but it is the former AEW TBS Champion, former CMLL Women’s World Champion, and former inaugural NJPW Strong Women’s Champion who is heading to the Tokyo Dome! She will join ROH’s Athena, CMLL’s Persephone, and a Stardom star yet to be determined, who will bring home that International Women’s Cup, and the title match promise that comes with it?
As for Hayter, the lights go out for real this time! And when they come back up, JULIA HART has Hayter in position! HAMMERLOCK DDT!! Julia Hart strikes when the time is right, but will the Princess of the Black Throne make sure Hayter knows The House Always Wins?
Brody King speaks.
“When I think of the Continental Classic, I think of prestige, I think of respect. Cowards take the easy way out. Ricochet, you are a coward.” Brody is referring to Ricochet exposing a top turnbuckle and then using it against Brody. Brody says, “I have no respect for you.”
Claudio Castagnoli speaks.
“Some of my colleagues, they would be angry that they lost. I’m also not losing sight of the bigger picture. They would trade victory for success. They would rather win 100 matches than win the war.”
Strong words from two of the physically strongest men in this tournament, but to Claudio’s point, the war is not over as the round robin continues on. Will either Brody or Claudio make comebacks before we reach Worlds End?
AEW Continental Classic, Blue League: Kazuchika Okada VS The Beast Mortos!
The Continental Champion had quite the message for his opponent tonight, but the menacing minotaur never has words, only roaring and violence! Will Mortos do plenty of that to bring down the champ? Or will the Rainmaker prove he’s still the greatest tournament wrestler today?
The bell rings and we’re on the clock. The fans rally up as Okada and Mortos circle. They tie up, Mortos powers Okada to ropes, but Okada turns things around. The ref counts, Okada lets off slowly, and he fakes the chop to then pat Mortos on the shoulders. The fans applaud while Okada and Mortos reset. They circle, tie up, and Mortos again puts Okada on ropes. Mortos lets off to egg Okada on, but Okada just pokes him in the eyes! The ref reprimands, the fans are torn, but Okada CLUBS Mortos.

The fans cheer and Okada soaks it up, but Mortos returns to TORNILLO TOPE! The fans fire up as Mortos roars! Okada sputters while Mortos has the fans chanting “BEAST! BEAST! BEAST! BEAST!” Mortos whips Okada into the steel steps! Then Mortos aims, and the fans fire up as he runs in, but Okada moves! Mortos’ cannonball crashes into steel steps! Okada refreshes the ring count and he stalks Mortos.
Okada stands Mortos up, blows a kiss to the title on the pedestal, and hits a DDT to the floor! Okada blows another kiss to the title, then refreshes the ring count while Collision goes picture in picture.
Okada drags Mortos up and RAMS him into railing! Mortos slumps down and Okada leaves him behind. The ring count restarts while Okada just waits. Mortos drags himself up, hobbles back over to the ring, and he drags himself in at 7 of 10. Okada storms up but Mortos CHOPS, CHOPS, ROCKS and fires more shots! Okada kicks low and hits a DDT!

AEW shares more footage from after Dynamite.
Reporters caught up with Mariah May to ask her about the return of Toni Storm, and Mariah said she DGAF! What happened to Toni is the same thing that happened to Mina, and it will be the same thing that happens to Thunder Rosa. Every single woman Mariah steps in the ring with has their hopes and dreams, and then they wish they were never born. Mina should just go back to modeling, because her wrestling career as she knows it is over. Mariah didn’t want to do that to Mina, she still loves Mina. But this is just what Mariah does, and will continue to do to any girl that wants to breathe the same air as her. No one can handle the Woman from Hell.
Rosa can go and yell about whatever bat s*it crazy BS she wants, Rosa just needs to name a time and place for Mariah to end her career! As for every other woman in AEW, or any other company, you all have the same dream. But there is only one reality. The Glamour has spoken, but will it fall on deaf ears?
Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa.
Tony Schiavone is with La Mera Mera and brings up Mariah’s comments. Rosa says time and place? March 16th, 2022, San Antonio, Texas, the time and place Rosa won the AEW Women’s World Championship and knew what she was made of. But it doesn’t matter who you ae when you hold the title! What matters is who you are when you aren’t. And Rosa knows in her heart that she is THE champion, for the people and for all of Women’s Wrestling! And that is something Mariah cannot say! And Mariah is cleaning up a mess with her ex-bestie, Toni Storm, but Rosa has a place reserved for Mariah in Hell!
Speaking of Toni Storm, she walks in and says hello, nice to meet everyone. Oh, sorry, she didn’t mean to interrupt. Hi, she’s Toni Storm, she just wanted to introduce herself. They shake hands and Storm says it is a pleasure to meet Thunder Rosa, as well as the living legend, Tony Schiavone. Okay, sorry, she’ll let you all get back to what you were doing. Rock on! Toni heads out and Rosa lets that… odd interaction go. Rosa tells Mariah that in two weeks, her father will be in the audience to see his daughter fight. And she told him to bring a handful of dirt from the graveyards of Tijuana to remind Rosa where she comes from, and where she’s taking Mariah.
So it will be December 28th, 2024, Worlds End! Rosa VS Mariah for the AEW Women’s World Championship, in a TIJUANA STREET FIGHT!! La Mera Mera has spoken, will she bury Mariah in the gave Mariah has dug for herself?

Or will they get dunked on by Mansoor, Mason Madden, Tony Nese, Josh Woods & Ariya Daivari?
Well of course “Smart” Mark has to take over the introductions. And he says that the Premier Athletes have decided to “let the losers of St. Louis,” and of course these “model citizens,” join in on the pregame cheer.

The team celebrates, that was a Freshly Squeezed victory! But while this was a big win and a lot of fun, it is time to focus on Worlds End. Will Garcia make his way out of the league to head for the Continental Championship? Will Cassidy overcome the Fatal 4 Way odds to finally be THE AEW World Champion?
Don Callis speaks.
“I had a bad night last night. A couple of turncoats who used to be under my employ, ‘Powerhouse’ Hobbs and Mark Davis, did a little switcharoo, a little number on the Don Callis Family. I woke up today with a hole in my heart because of that, but then I got fantastic news. The gods have smiled upon me because I am getting, in two week’s time, at Worlds End, I am getting my revenge on Powerhouse Hobbs. That’s right, a match against the Alpha, Konosuke Takeshita, has been granted. And it’s in two weeks at Worlds End, and I can’t wait.
‘If you thought everything was coming up the Don Callis Family, I’ve got one more thing to be excited about! Kyle Fletcher is getting ready right now to be in the main event tonight! And run the table and mathematically ensure that he goes on to Worlds End and then wins the Continental Championship, when he beats that degenerate, Mark Briscoe tonight on Collision. That is why the Don Callis Family is the true one percenters of professional wrestling. And you’re gonna see it tonight, and you’re gonna see it at Worlds End. And Hobbs, I’m gonna send you right back to the unemployment line.” Callis has made his promises, but will Konosuke and Kyle be able to keep them?
AEW Continental Classic, Blue League: Kyle Fletcher VS Mark Briscoe!

Mark hurries back up a corner, and we have ONE MINUTE LEFT! FROGGY-BOW~!! Cover, TWO?!? Mark doesn’t hesitate, he just underhooks! But Kyle drops, victory rolls, TWO!! Mark is up, he rolls Kyle, TWO!! Kyle is up, but Mark tucks the arms! But Kyle shoves Mark into the ref! LOW- NO!! Mark stops the low blow and kicks back! Underhooks, JAY DRILLER!!! Cover, MARK WINS!!!
Winner: Mark Briscoe, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Fletcher earns 0)
Literally last minute, and the Sussex County Chicken snatches victory from the jaws of defeat! Callis is very upset by this upset victory, and now Mark has new life in the C2! Cassidy & Willow come out to celebrate with him, could Mark make himself one of the semifinalists going into Worlds End?
The Death Riders have hijacked a camera!
Jon Moxley checks if they’re rolling, and Wheeler Yuta says yeah, it’s rolling. He knows how to work that thing? Yeah. Moxley says FTR are about to get lost on their way home tonight. Oh, here they come. The Death Riders watch as Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood walk through the backstage area. Then Marina Shafir stands in their way. Claudio & Pac snatch FTR with blindfold bags! FTR fights but Moxley helps outnumber the #TopGuys, and they drag FTR out to the parking lot. Yuta keeps the camera on him as he smiles and laughs at the carnage happening just on the other side of the wall. Will the Death Riders personally see to it that there is NO ONE to stand against them?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here to wrap Winter is Coming Week, and I do appreciate they’re trying to get more and more people into the Death Rider story, as they should. To that end, good promo from Darby and Ospreay to try and get Ospreay to consider his part in all this. I get Ospreay’s side, he just wants to wrestle, win, and become champion again, but considering Claudio is in Gold League with him, he could end up a target, compelling Ospreay to join the fight. And quite the closing moment, with Death Riders going after FTR because they saved Cassidy from their attack. It’ll be quite the AEW Justice League moment when names like Cassidy, FTR, Ospreay and a few others stand against The Death Riders. And I say Justice League because DC Comics is Warner Brothers Discovery, too.
Speaking of the Continental Classic, awesome matches tonight for Blue League. Mortos was of course losing to Okada but he looked great against the champ. Good promo from Callis to hype up both the International Championship match of Konosuke VS Hobbs and tonight’s main event, and what an awesome win for Mark Briscoe. Kyle is leading at 9, but Okada is second at 7 and Mark is third at 6, and things could really get wild in the last round of Blue League competition. I feel like it should still come down to Okada and Kyle because Okada is the champ and should have a chance at defending his belt, and Kyle could potentially face Ospreay again.
Great 10 Man Tag from Garcia, Komander, Cassidy & Outrunners VS Premier Athletes & MXM, but it was clearly all for the fun so that the fans could stay energized during these long tapings. Good squash match win for Kris Statlander, but I feel like Lynn didn’t sell being held up for a 20+ stalling suplex much at all. Equally good squash match win for Toni Storm, and I absolutely LOVE that Toni Storm is pretending this is her first time in AEW. She got reset to her old persona so apparently that came with a memory reset, that is brilliant. Very good promo Mariah, and a very good promo from Rosa, including Toni’s part. A Tijuana Street Fight for the title, and it keeps both women strong no matter who wins.
Great tag match of Top Flight VS Lio & Action, but also a great use of Leila as a distraction in the wrong way. I almost thought she was going to turn and join Lio & Action, but Leila’s done fairly well as a Face now so I feel like she’ll stay a Face. She could easily just give a promo about how Lio & Action didn’t care about her and that’s why she sticks with Dante & Darius. Private Party VS Lio & Action is going to be a great, but I would think Quen & Kassidy win out. And then great International Women’s Cup Qualifier from Willow VS Hayter. Willow was the natural choice given her accolades.
And while it’s great for Julia to return in person, AEW sure fumbled it. The lights went out during the match, aka way too early, and then I don’t think she did a good job choosing elbow gloves. Those things were falling down the whole time, it looked more like she had a big scrunchy wristband. But hey, Hayter VS Hart in a House Rules match for Worlds End would be great for them both, and it’d be quite the way for Hart to get a return win.
My Score: 8.9/10

Four fanny packs, three Brawler Buddies, two Acclaimed scissor hands… And anything~ else that involves MEEE~, Harley Cameron!” A creative ad read, but will Harley be ready to “welcome back” Toni Storm later tonight?
Toni Storm VS Harley Cameron!
For the first time in FOUR MONTHS, the former AEW Women’s World Champion is back in AEW, and she’s back as her original form. Will Toni still be victorious even though she’s no longer Timeless? Or will Harley prove she’s Gold Coast, Australia’s best wrestler now?

BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
Toni Storm’s comeback tour is only heating up as she’ll be in action once again, against Shazza McKenzie! So from one Aussie to another, is Toni going to keep this momentum going? Plus, Kris Statlander will be back in action, will she rebound from her loss at Full Gear? And on top of that, AEW takes a cue from the NBA on TNT, it’s a BIG All Star 10 Man Tag! Daniel Garcia joins forces with Orange Cassidy, The Outrunners & Komander to take on The Premier Athletes & MXM Collection, will the TNT Champion lead his team to a win in this pick-up game?
Brody King speaks.
“When I think of the Continental Classic, I think of prestige, I think of respect and honor. I started the C2 strong, but now I’m down 6 points. Komander, you better bring the fight of your life, because I am.” It is a match of men on the bubble, who will survive one more round in the Gold League? We find out next Friday for Rampage: Holiday Bash!
Deonna Purrazzo VS Shazza McKenzie!
The Virtuosa wants everyone in AEW to understand something: When dealing with The Vendetta, stay on their good side. Will Deonna make sure Shazza understands that explicitly? Or will Shazza get on Deonna’s bad side without even trying?
The bell rings and Deonna circles with Shazza. They tie up, Deonna powers Shazza to the corner, then stomps away! The ref counts, Deonna stops at 4, and she CHOSP! Shazza sputters but Deonna reels her in. But Shazza gets around to roll Deonna up! TWO, and Shazza blocks a boot! Shazza knees, whips, but Deonna turns Shazza’s lariat into a wrench and short arm LARIAT! The fans rally up while Shazza goes to a corner. Deonna runs corner to corner, but Shazza slips out to the apron! Shazza ROCKS Deonna, goes up and up, but Deonna trips her! Deonna has Shazza in the Tree of Woe and stomps her down!
The fans are torn as Deonna goes corner to corner, and she RAMS into Shazza! Shazza flops out of the Tree, and into Deonna’s POWERBOMB! Then FUJIWARA ARMBAR! Shazza TAPS, Deonna wins!
Winner: Deonna Purrazzo, by submission
Deonna doesn’t let go! She makes Shazza pay for lasting even this long! Deonna then lets go to revel in her victory. Will anyone stop The Vendetta from rising up the ranks?
Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Alex Marvez welcomes #BornAgainKristen and says it is great to see her back again, for the first time since Full Gear. That match with Mercedes Mone was perhaps one of the best matches in the history of the AEW Women’s Division, but seeing as she lost, where does Kris go from here? Kris says she has not stopped thinking about that match. Actually, it feels like Mone hasn’t, either. It seems like Mone won’t stop talking about it. And to give Mone credit, Mone is everything she says she is. Kris came out of that match pretty beat up, so her next step forward is just to keep moving forward.
Kris always moves forward, and that is why she is going to compete tomorrow night on Collision. She’d wrestle again the next night, and the next night, and the next night if she could. She’ll be at Holiday Bash this Wednesday to watch the TBS Championship match, Mone VS Anna Jay. Whoever comes out on top, they should know that Kris has unfinished business with that title. Kris heads out, will she find a way to be the Face of TBS once again?
PROGRAMMING NOTE for Christmas Collision!
Firstly, don’t be fooled, Collision is still on Saturday, December 21st. BUT it will be live coast to coast, 8 PM Eastern, 5 PM Pacific, immediately following TNT’s coverage of the NCAA College Football Playoffs. Make sure your DVRs are set accordingly so your Collision can be merry and bright!
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
He welcomes us back to Rampage, and he welcomes out ahead of tonight’s main event some of the greatest athletes in the world today, the Don Callis Family! Fans boo as creepy Callus leads the way out for his Alpha, his Murderhawk Monster, and his Protostar. Konosuke Takeshita, Lance Archer & Kyle Fletcher stand with Don Callis and Schiavone in the ring, and Schiavone speaks to Callis that going just off the reaction from the fans, we all know what they think of Callis and his “family.” Callis grabs the mic to say, “I have something important to say. I know you’re very shocked by how we conduct our business, but what business do you think you’re, Schiavone?
“Because I’m in the getting-over-and-making-money business! So is Kyle! So is Takeshita! So is Archer! You don’t believe me? The Murder Machines is the most feared tag team in the history of this company! Takeshita is the best bell-to-bell International champion we’ve ever had. And that brings me to the Protostar, Kyle Fletcher.” The fans boo more but Callis will remind us that “there was a guy running around here who everyone thought was the greatest wrestler they’d ever seen! And his name was Will Ospreay! That was until Will Ospreay got in the ring with Kyle Fletcher! And Kyle Fletcher, Will, he didn’t just beat you. He dominated you!”
The fans boo more as Callis says Kyle put Ospreay down! Ospreay will never be the same. So as he sits home, watching the Callis Family bask in their glory, here’s a question for Ospreay: How does it feel, bruv? The fans boo more, but Callis says, “Wait, it gets better! Just a few short days later, he (Kyle) did the impossible! He got in the ring with a man who has been called, correctly I might add, ‘The greatest tournament wrestler ever,’ Kazuchika Okada. And he BEAT Okada! So Okada, as you sit home and watch us, I’ve got a question for you! How does it feel, b*tch? Tell ’em, Kyle!”
Callis hands the mic over and the fans boo more. Kyle takes off his sunglasses, but he waits as the fans keep booing. “Kansas City, you can boo me as much as you want. You can cheer for that BUM, Ospreay! But it changes absolutely nothing. I am 25-years-old, I have a watch on my wrist that costs more than the car you drive, and I will be the winner of the Continental Classic. So tomorrow night on Collision, Mark Briscoe, I hope you bring more than your Redneck Kung-Fu. Because winning this tournament is my destiny! And nobody gets in the way of me and my destiny.” The fans boo more but Callis gets the mic back.
Callis says one thing is very obvious to him: The Don Callis Family are the ONE PERCENTERS of AEW! And because they’re the One Percent, Callis can say this: there is no one in the back big enough and bad enough to get in the ring with them. But guess what? Here comes “P-P-P-POWERHOUSE!” The fans fire up as Will Hobbs makes his way out, and he’s bringing Dunkzilla with him! Will the Don Callis Family regret ever leaving Hobbs behind?
“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs & Mark Davis VS Konosuke Takeshita & Lance Archer!
The teams sort out and Hobbs starts against Konosuke. Archer calls to Konosuke, and Konosuke tags him in. The fans rally for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” as Archer steps to Hobbs. But Hobbs walks right past Archer to taunt Konosuke. “Is that it? Is that really it?” Konosuke backs off to take a stroll outside. Archer tells Hobbs to pay attention to him, he’s the one in the ring. The fans boo but Archer throws a forearm! Hobbs fires back! The fans fire up as “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” goes back and forth! Hobbs gets the edge but archer knees low! Archer tells fans to shut up! Archer whips, Hobbs reverses, and the two RAM shoulders!
Archer staggers to a corner and Hobbs storms up on him! Hobbs rains down fists from above, and we get “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” all the way to nine, because Konosuke sneaks up! Hobbs runs Konosuke off, then he tags Davis. Davis climbs up on Archer, and he rains down fists! “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” all the way to TEN! Davis storms around, he and Hobbs go after Archer together to double whip him corner to corner. Davis runs in and LARIATS! Hobbs runs up to LARIAT! The fans cheer as they double whip back the other way. Archer goes up, but Davis stays back. Davis waistlocks Archer but Archer ROCKS Hobbs first!
Archer ELBOWS Davis, roars and runs, but he gets DOUBLE SHOULDER TACKLES! The fans fire up for the big meaty men, and Davis drags Archer up. Hobbs comes back in, and they DOUBLE SUPLEX Archer, and even hold him, before the SLAM! Cover, ONE!! Archer shows that grit but Davis pumps up his arm! The fans fire up with Davis as he runs, but Konosuke gets a cheap shot in! Archer then CROSSBODIES Davis! Archer rains down fast hands, then shouts, “This is MY house!” The fans boo but Archer tags Konosuke, and Rampage goes picture in picture.
Archer taunts the fans while Konosuke goes corner to corner. Forearm SMASH on Davis and Konosuke snapmares him down. Konosuke goes up, soaks up the heat, and then SUPER SENTONS! Cover, TWO! Davis toughs it out but Konosuke rains down fists! Konosuke CHOKES Davis, stops as the ref counts, and he tags Archer back in. Archer taunts Hobbs while staying between him and Davis. Archer stands Davis up to short arm ALARAIT! Davis stays up so Archer short arm LARIATS again! Davis falls but Archer brings him up for another short arm LARIAT! Archer stands on Davis’s neck!
The ref reprimands, Archer steps off to drag Davis up, and Archer TOSSES Davis out. Archer keeps the ref distracted so Konosuke can whip Davis into railing! Davis almost falls into the front row! Konosuke drags Davis back and DECKS him! Archer goes out to laugh at the fans while standing on Davis! The ref reprimands, Archer still taunts fans as he steps off, and he drags Davis up. Davis fires forearms! The ring count is climbing but Davis roars, only for Konosuke to CLAW Davis’s face! Archer & Konosuke mug Davis, the ref reprimands them both, but Archer puts Davis in the ring. Archer then KICKS Davis in the side!
Archer drags Davis up to bump him off buckles! Tag to Konosuke, Archer smothers Davis while Konosuke fires body shots. The ref reprimands but Konosuke climbs up. Konosuke throws down fists, but then he BITES Davis on the forehead! Konosuke steps away while the ref reprimands, and Archer almost grabs Davis if not for the ref being wary of him. Archer tags in and he stands Davis up. Archer taunts the fans, then CHOPS Davis! Archer stands Davis up again, to CHOP! Archer stands Davis up a third time, but Davis avoids the chop! Davis CHOPS Archer, but Archer knees low! Archer bumps Davis off buckles, then smothers him!
The ref reprimands, Archer stops, and Rampage returns to single picture. Archer again taunts Hobbs while staying between him and Davis. Archer wrenches Davis, whips him to the corner, but Davis BOOTS Archer away! Davis also ROCKS Konosuke and heads for his corner! The fans are thunderous, but Archer runs at Davis! Davis dodges and Archer hits buckles in the open corner! Davis crawls his way over, but Archer goes to BLAST Hobbs! Archer stomps Davis down while fans boo, but Archer soaks up the heat. Archer grins and looks at the tron, “That’s me!” Tag to Konosuke and Konosuke brings Davis up.
Davis fights the suplex, tries to suplex, but Konosuke also fights! Konosuke powers up to lift Davis up and over! The fans are torn, that was legit impressive. Konosuke runs up but Davis rolls him up! TWO, and Davis DECKS Konosuke! The fans fire up as Davis wobbles and staggers! He spots Hobbs, and leaps for the HOT TAG! Hobbs CLOBBERS Konosuke, LARIATS Konosuke, then runs in and SPLASHES at the corner! The fans are thunderous as Hobbs goes again, but Konosuke BOOTS him! Konosuke runs, avoids the spinebuster, but Hobbs elbows him away. Konosuke BOOTS the lariat away, then ROCKS Hobbs!
Konosuke runs, but Hobbs LARIATS Konosuke inside-out! Only for Konosuke to rise back up! POWER DRIVE KNEE!! Both men fall and the fans are thunderous! Konosuke and Hobbs crawl, hot tags to Archer and Davis! They DOUBLE LARIAT, and DOUBLE LARIAT, and DOUBLE LARIAT again! “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” They even switch arms to DOUBLE LARIAT! Davis roars, but Archer grabs him the throat! Davis breaks free to ENZIGIRI! Archer flops to a corner and the fans fire up with Davis! Davis runs, blocks a boot, but Archer STOMPS Davis down! Archer grins, drags Davis up and puts him on the top rope.
Archer climbs but Davis fires hands! Konosuke joins in to CLAW Davis’s face! The ref reprimands but Konosuke climbs up, and now the Callis Family has Davis on the top rope! Hobbs joins in underneath! TOWER OF MEAT- er, DOOM!! The fans are thunderous as Hobbs goes back to his corner. Davis crawls, hot tag back to Hobbs! Hobbs waits on Archer, and he brings down the straps. But Konosuke sneaks in! ALPHA ELBOW! BOOT from Archer! Choke grip, CHOKE SLAM!! Cover, TWO!! Hobbs survives and Archer is furious! Konosuke waits on Hobbs and the kneepad comes down. But Davis anchors Konosuke!
Davis drags Konosuke out, sends him into railing, but then Archer DECKS Davis! Hobbs whips Archer to SNAP POWERSLAM! The fans are thunderous again as Hobbs says thumbs up, thumbs DOWN! SPINEBUSTER!! Cover, HOBBS & DAVIS WIN!
Winners: Will Hobbs & Mark Davis, by pinfall
Big meaty men went to big meaty war, but Konosuke wants more! He even has the belt! Hobbs blocks the shot, and he SPINEBUSTERS Konosuke! The fans are thunderous again as Hobbs eyes that International Championship. Hobbs holds the belt up, will this be the scene we see in the not too distant future?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage here, great builds in a lot of stuff, and while there was word that those inside AEW thought this was a waste of Toni Storm’s in-ring return, the match we got was really good. Harley had a good little song to advertise the AEW holiday sale, and had a great showing against Toni, but of course Toni wins tonight. She’ll definitely win tomorrow night, too, but I like that she’s facing another Australian wrestler. This is almost like early hype for Grand Slam: Australia in February. Deonna beat Shazza tonight, decent stuff, but the sooner they get going on The Vendetta targeting Anna Jay the better so that The Vendetta actually has a story.
Actually, I think I said it before but the Vendetta story could be them joining Mercedes Mone, revealing themselves as the ones who attacked Kamille. Then those three take on Kamille, Anna Jay, and Kris Statlander in a Six Woman Tag. Speaking of, good promo from Kris Statlander, and her wanting after the TBS title again is a natural move. She’s gotta bide time while the AEW Women’s World Championship story unfolds, and she’s not downgrading to ROH, she is not that far out of the running. That Six Woman Tag could even lead to a Six Pack Challenge for the title, making it much easier to get that title off Mone.
Very good match from Cardona VS Keith to open the night, but of course Cardona wins. This combined with last night’s ROH contract signing segment, Cardona has all the momentum going into Final Battle next week, so he is sadly not winning the title. Jericho still has to complete his goal of getting ROH a cable TV deal, and there is even word that there is interest, perhaps even from Warner Brother Discovery to put ROH on the other Turner network, TruTV, so who knows. Maybe Jericho retains long enough for that deal to be finalized, and then he loses on the first episode of ROH back on cable.
Good promo from Brody King, and I would think he defeats Komander to rebound from his lose to Claudio. Sorry, Komander, but you might be eating the goose egg. Very good promo from Callis and Fletcher to call out Ospreay and Okada and even Mark Briscoe. I feel like that foreshadows Ospreay and Okada making it to Worlds End as semifinalists with Fletcher. And a great main event tag match as Hobbs & Davis made a surprisingly good duo. Great win for Hobbs & Davis, too, and it establishes Hobbs VS Konosuke for the International Championship. Now, Hobbs’ chances of winning that title depend on what AEW and NJPW agree on for WrestleDynasty and Konosuke VS Shingo Takagi, but I wouldn’t mind seeing Hobbs win.
My Score: 8.8/10
